Activities and attractions near your Exmoor cottage
Such outstanding surroundings make outdoor pursuits an absolute joy, whether you're after non-stop adventure or gentle exercise. There's walking, of course, and superb riding from tranquil hacks along forest trails to serious gallops in wide open spaces. Enjoy family bike rides on easy green trails or take a spin down high-speed black routes - for those passionate mountain bikers out there. Wimbleball Lake is the perfect spot for canoeing, dinghy sailing and fly-fishing. Or find yourself a quiet riverbank and fish for salmon and trout. Play golf? Day visitors are welcome at the Minehead & West Somerset Golf Club, offering both links and parkland course features.
What else? Historic houses, museums, galleries, steam trains, Exmoor Zoo, the Exmoor Pony Centre and more. Soak up rural life at village fetes and country shows. Enjoy a pint with the locals in one of the many traditional inns. Or do something different and join a wildlife safari, spotting the elusive red deer and the gorgeous Exmoor Pony.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, a holiday in an Exmoor cottage will linger long in the memory!
